Live Wallpaper for Android

How it works

Livewallpaper.io is a service that allows you to create
an Android wallpaper out of a GIF or an MP4 file.

Tip:
Need some inspiration what to put into your live wallpaper?
Browse others created by our users in
live wallpaper gallery.
Filter out unnecessary results by typing in tags, arbitrary search terms
and selecting categories. Sort results by name or number of downloads.

This page will lead you in creation of your first live wallpaper app.
Although this tutorial shows screenshots from a desktop OS, Livewallpaper.io
also works in mobile browsers.
Say, you have such a nice GIF file of a frog:

Note:
The source file should have higher height than width. We're targeting phones
so to display a wallpaper properly it needs to be rectangular,
perfectly 480px wide and 800px high but that's not a requirement.
Of course, the workflow when you have an MP4 is identical as outlined
on this page.

After selecting a source file we need to enter a few details about it
and a final app:

Last step on the form is for entering your AdMob ad unit ID. If you
don't have one but you'd like to start earning, follow our
AdMob Guide.
If you'd rather skip this step, select 'I don't have AdMob account':

If everything is fulfilled then a submit button will activate.
You can review your choices now and click the button for upload to start.

When your upload has succeeded you'll be presented with a Status Page
of your app:

You can monitor when your app will be ready and you can download
it from here.

As soon as your app is ready the Status Page shows a button to
download the app:

Note: It's important to note that this page is intended solely for you
and this download button should be considered private. When your
app passes our approval process it'll be available publicly on
a separate page in our
live wallpaper gallery.

Let's click download button. After short period of time
you should be able to find your app in a Download folder where
your browser is configured to save files:

On Android system it can look like that:

Now having the app on Android phone you can tap on it to begin
installation:

When installation completes let's open the app. You'll be
presented with this screen:

Notice a progress bar. It's there to indicate that an interstitial ad will
be displayed. This ad will be similar to this one:

After you dismiss it you'll back in the app and progress bar is gone.
A 'Set' button is revealed. Click it:

Next screen is for previewing the wallpaper in its whole glory.
Tap a button at the bottom of the screen to set wallpaper on your phone:
